EVEN THIS PORTABLE BOSCH TABLE SAW CAN DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. I MAKE IT A POINT WHILE USING A TABLE SAW TO LISTEN TO MY GUT INSTINCT. IF I'M GETING READY TO MAKE A CUT, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS, I DON'T DO IT. PERIOD. I MAKE A JIG TO HOLD THE LUMBER, OR USE A PUSH STICK AS I AM DOING ABOVE TO HELP GUIDE A PIECE THAT WILL BE A RAISED PANEL FOR THE FRONT DOOR. AND IF I STILL FEEL NERVOUS, I GRAB A BIGGER PIECE OF WOOD, OR CHANGE THE DESIGN.

I HAVE GROWN FOND OF THIS SMALL TABLE SAW. IT IS EXTREMELY ACCURATE, AND IS MORE FORGIVING THAN MY FIVE HORSE POWER DELTA UNI-SAW. ON THAT SAW, IF YOU BIND A PIECE OF LUMBER BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE SAW BLADE, THE SAW FLINGS THE WOOD ACROSS THE SHOP AT A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR. WITH SAW, THE MOTOR SLOWS DOWN GIVING YOU ENOUGH TIME TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.
